Hall Of Famers such as Earl "Dutch" Clark, Bill Dudley, Bobby Layne, Alex Wojciechowicz, Jack Christiansen, Joe Schmidt, Dick "Night Train" Lane, Yale Lary, Doak Walker, Lem Barney, Lou Creekmur and Barry Sanders have worn the silver and blue. While the team has not been successful since Barry Sanders' abrupt retirement, things are looking up with young stars Roy Williams, Joey Harrington and Charles Rogers growing more experienced.
